Essential fatty acids (EFA) remain one of the least well‐understood and enigmatic nutrients
in aquaculture nutrition. Of all dietary nutrients none has a greater direct impact on the …

Abstract Models are important tools to address sustainability challenges associated with
developing aquaculture at farm, regional and global scales. Farm‐scale models (FSMs) …

According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …

Successful integration of aquaculture with agriculture is a complex subject, not least
because of the poorly developed research base for aquaculture in comparison with that of …

This study uses a system dynamics approach to explore hydrological processes in the
geographic locations where the main contribution to flooding is coming from the snowmelt …

Several models which describe population growth and mortality are evaluated and
discussed using data from a single cohort population of Sparus aurata. This fish is …

Large fish often inhabit colder waters than small fish. Using a simple bioenergetic model, we
found that the optimal temperature for growth should decrease with increasing body size …

The use of modeling techniques to analyze aquaponics systems is demonstrated with an
example of dynamic modeling for the production of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and …

To optimize feeds and feed management for barramundi (Lates calcarifer), an improved
factorial model is required. A growth function describing weight gain by barramundi as a …

This paper reviews current and potential applications of systems models and bioeconomic
models in aquaculture. Basic information on alternative types of models and the process of …
